About OpenAlgo
Drug discovery should belong to anyone who can connect the dots.
Not only to those with a lab, a license or a lineage. As intelligent systems absorb the mechanical work of science, human effort shifts to exploration and synthesis across fields. The next breakthroughs won’t come from isolated labs. They’ll come from connected minds, transparent systems and automation working in the open.
Mission
Turn the world’s scientific literature into runnable, reviewable, reproducible infrastructure — and put the bench within reach of the people who can use it.
Every translation is inspectable, every assumption surfaced, every gap reported. Every lab plan shows its sources and its limits. That standard is the product.
How we expand
Earn trust in one narrow domain. Then open the next.
Credibility in scientific software comes from getting a specific problem right, not from the broadest surface area. We started with QSAR and molecular property prediction because it is where we could deliver honest, useful output first. The Wet-Lab Launcher is the next door: from a reproduced result to a bench of your own.
First
OpenAlgo Research
Turns QSAR and molecular property papers into reviewed Python projects, and reports every detail the authors left out.
Now
Wet-Lab Launcher
Plans an independent lab at your address: the cash to launch and run, the equipment to own or share, and the permits that apply.
What we believe
Four rules we don’t bend.
Scientific fidelity beats feature count.
A narrow tool you can trust is worth more than a broad one you have to double-check.
Every gap gets reported.
If a paper, a plan or our own output is missing something, you hear it from us first.
The scientist signs off.
Automation does the mechanical work. Judgment stays with the person accountable for the result.
Say what we don’t cover.
If we can’t support a domain well, we say so up front and point you somewhere else.
Where this goes
One loop, from paper to bench.
- 01
Read
A promising method lands in the literature.
- 02
Reproduce
Methods become a runnable project, gaps flagged.
- 03
Decide
Kill weak papers in minutes, not after a month of coding.
- 04
Launch
Cost, equip and permit a bench at your address.
- 05
Measure
Your own first reproducible result.
The company
Built and operated by Social Protocol Labs.
We are a small team. Access to Research is reviewed by hand: we look for teams with real papers to evaluate, live workflows that need the tool, and the willingness to tell us where it falls short. For questions about the company, beta access or partnerships, write to openalgo@sociallabs.com.
